Rainer Werner Fassbinder vol. 3 brings together a collection of his lesser seen works from various stages in his career, featuring high definition digital restorations prepared by the Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGods of the Plague portrays a newly released ex-con as he reacquaints himself with Munich’s criminal underworld to plan the robbery of a supermarket. In Rio Das Mortes, two feckless young friends, Michel and Günther, embark on a hare-brained scheme to look for lost treasure in Peru, against strong opposition from Michel’s fiancée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnseen between its first television broadcast in 1970 and its rediscovery in 2002, The Niklashausen Journey chronicles the journey of a young peasant in the 15th century and his quest to overcome social injustice, in Fassbinder’s allegorical critique of the student movement. The American Soldier sees Fassbinder continue to pursue the cinephilic homage to classic Hollywood crime films of his feature debut, Love is Colder than Death, in a tale of a German-American Vietnam vet turned small-time hoodlum who finds himself on the wrong side of the law in Munich, where he grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMother Kusters Goes to Heaven stars Brigitte Mira (Fear Eats the Soul) as a middle-aged housewife who is roused into revolutionary activity after her blue-collar husband runs amok at his workplace. Based on a story by Asta Scheib, Fear of Fear features Fassbinder favourite Margit Carstensen (The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant) as the young mother plagued with feelings of anxiety and depression as she is left to spend her hours alone surrounded by her judgemental in-laws while her husband spends his days at work. Satan’s Brew sees Fassbinder foray into riotous comedy, with Kurt Raab starring as a once famous poet stricken with writer’s block who inadvertently assumes the persona of the prewar symbolist Stefan George.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-rayTM presentations of Gods of the Plague, The American Soldier, Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven and Satan’s Brew prepared by the Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation\u003cbr\u003eOriginal uncompressed PCM mono 1.0 sound for all films\u003cbr\u003eOptional English subtitles for all films\u003cbr\u003eExclusive 140-page collectors booklet containing archive articles and new writing by Jonathan Rosenbaum, Eric Rentschler, David Jenkins, Margaret Deriaz and Earl Jackson\u003cbr\u003eDisc One – Gods of the Plague \u0026amp; Rio Das Mortes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlter Ego: Harry Baer on Rainer Werner Fassbinder, a 40-minute interview with the star of Gods of the Plague\u003cbr\u003eTaking Off, an exclusive new interview with Michael König on Rio Das Mortes\u003cbr\u003eOriginal theatrical trailer for Gods of the Plague\u003cbr\u003eDisc Two – The Niklashausen Journey \u0026amp; The American Soldier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio commentary by critic Olaf Möller on The Niklashausen Journey \u003cbr\u003eAudio commentary by critic Tony Rayns on The American Soldier\u003cbr\u003eFassbinder Shoots Film No 8, a 1971 television documentary by Michael Ballhaus and Dieter Buchmann on Rainer Werner Fassbinder filming The American Soldier\u003cbr\u003eThe Shadow Man, an exclusive new in-depth interview with Fassbinder’s collaborator Michael Fengler\u003cbr\u003eFreedom or Death!, an exclusive new interview with Michael König on The Niklashausen Journey\u003cbr\u003eDisc Three – Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven \u0026amp; Fear of Fear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio commentary by critic Olaf Möller on Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven\u003cbr\u003eNew interviews with Renate Leiffer, assistant director on Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven and Fear of Fear\u003cbr\u003eNew interview with writer Asta Scheib on Fear of Fear\u003cbr\u003ePlay It Again, Rainer!
